Week 2

WHAT WE DID THIS WEEK

• "Finding & Sorting Out" about our unit "Changes in Matter" - Students practised sorting, drawing and describing solids, liquids and gases in their daily lives. 

• Experiment - Students  performed an experiment with baking soda, vinegar, a balloon, and a plastic bottle. Children learned that when you combine baking soda and vinegar, they make a gas. This gas spreads out to fill the bottle and then the balloon.

• Read Alouds - The Runaway Iceberg by Twinkl (Ms. Diana's Class) Change It! by Adrienne Mason (Ms. Rosalind's Class)
